*I printed out an award, decorated it with uncooked pasta & glitter & stuck it on the fridge

Chicken nuggets can cure the world mitts. tis a fact. Have survived ds' birthday. Nothing broken no meltdown. tis a success. eaten way too much and as the cake was decorated to look like the earth it had to be big enough for all the contienents so mucho cake left.

Trills, i had depo for 4 1/2 years. you need to watch your calcium intake due to the osteophorosis increased risk. It make me a complete pscho loon but wasnt helped but survere sleep deprivation. Have been off it for a year now and AF has hung around for 2 weeks this time. Not a happy bunny. That make 3 out of 4 weeks. Wish she would bugger off and give me some space to top up the old iron level. Oh and it killed my sex drive. completely stone cold dead. which then begged the question what the fucking point was it to have it when i was never in the mood for it anyway

Mmm, proper chicken nuggets are lovely.

DEM, that cake sounds amazing!!!!!
In awe over here...........
Lucky your DS

Actually mum sketched out the outline of contients from the icing i had dyed, rolled out but run out of time to cut and add. Have a picky on the camera when i find new batteries will put on my profile. But must warn you that the moon obscures part of the land mass and "the happy birthday candles just dont occur in rl"

Chaos, cake sounds v good. I'm doing a hedgehog cake for DS birthday, not nearly as impressive as the world!

I think I'll have to turn down the earache offer (another one of DS current ailments). I hope it goes away soon for you.

Night everyone. I am off to bed in the hope that the currently non coughing DS stays that way all night and I can get a decent nights sleep.

Jet, glad to hear you are feeling better.

Lizzy, yes, if you come this way again you are most welcome to stop in!

FB, I also suspect hormonal birth control does me no favours with my depression. I stopped the pill (Dianette) in August 2006, and not keen on going back on even though it really helped keep my PCOS symptoms at bay. Since we are probably going to try for another baby some day and my cycle is weird at the best of times, I don't want to screw it up by doing anything hormonal. Am a bit scared of coils though. We have condoms that are going a bit dusty. When I start getting AF again I think I'll probably start with my temp taking/charting and just use that as birth control.

MyCat, your poor DS! Fingers crossed he sleeps. I just about died of gratefulness to the universe last night when my DS slept through again. Good luck with the job too, will hope for good news.

Mitts/MyCat, my new strategy is opening up Notepad and typing responses as I read through the thread (then copying and pasting)--my brain wouldn't cope otherwise.

Ooooh DEM, I want to see pics of that cake, sounds wonderful!

Also, it was you DEM wasn't it, that went to some cool science-y sounding place off junction 18 of M6 right? I've forgotten what it was, but remember mentioning it to DH and him saying he'd always wanted to see it. What was it? He wants to get out of the house and do something non-DIY this weekend.

Dancing did not go well tonight. We utterly suck at the cha-cha. But got very sweaty so good exercise!

DEM, I am just north of Bury.

THe cake still sounds amazing,, as does your DS!
Don't be so modest.

More cake tonight and less cock. I like it

Yank - Joderall Bank radio telescope linky here
need to steal the notepad idea

Lizzy- Head over oldham way so closer then now and will wave inthe distance

sorry lizzy that makes no sense at all i meant i head over oldham way and I will wave... is it clearer then mud now?

right really am off to bed now. am late and not getting my early night after all. Least i get my lie in - well sort of.

Evening all,

Sorry I haven't made it on this evening been up to my eyeballs with cards as well as up & down to DD who is still wide awake She's going to be a joy in the morning thank goodness it's a nursery day tomorrow!

I hope everyone's ok, not had a chance to read through sorry if I've missed anything important

Thanks DEM! Looks good, interesting and inexpensive...just what we need.

Morning Gosh you guys wrapped up late last night

I feel horribly bloated this morning, but then again I do most mornings Anyone else get that? Do you take anything to help it?

Got the in laws round for dinner tonight & I've planned ahead so I know how many points dinner & dessert will be so will just have a very low pointed lunch to make sure I have enough points for it

How is everyone? Glad its Friday?

Morning ladies

Yank - don't do natural family planning if you're still bfing and/or waking at night. It mucks up your temperatures and your cycles are really unlikely to regulate for years when they return - sorry! That is, of course, unless you don't mind getting pg

Right, must go bake bread to take over to friend's house today.

Late? I meant early!!

Oooo Flam yum yum to fresh baked bread

Good morning all. I am feeling so much better, so no more lounging on the sofa watching crap TV for me today, although I am getting strangely addicted to Bridezillas which is on at 9.00 this morning.

Hi all

I'm having loads of trouble keeping up with you all!

Hows things? Any news on the meet up?

I have fab news - it's boy shaped news swoon

oooh I love Bridezillas!

OOH TDWP, do tell!

Think I slept funny, have a v stiff and sore neck (no boy related shenanigans, mores the pity).

Morning all

Fanny Bridezillas always makes me larf

Oo ouch Lizzy, hot water bottle on it to help ease it?

Ouch to the stiff neck.

TDWP - you sound very excited, spill.

He's gorgeous and so lovely.

He plays the sax and is doing a phd in music performance at the moment - I went to his recital last night.

Imagine an Argentinian Brad Pitt - but hotter...and he has these adorable dimples. and phew....(fans self down)

You're sooooooooo smitten TDWP

Do you wanna see a pic...ah of course you do!
